- Summary
- "A voyage into the memory of Mr. Bojangles, the celebrated tap dancer at New York's Cotton Club during the 1920's. The elegant Mr. Bojangles is played by Charles 'Honi' Coles, one of the last representatives of this storied school of dance. Og is a prehistoric caveman, a comic-strip hero. The meeting between these two poetic symbols forms the heart of this video" -- Program of 23rd International Festival of Films on Art.
- Two final versions of the video, Mr. Bojangles' memory: og, son of fire created for the exhibition of the same name held at the Centre Georges Pompidou from November 6, 1991 to January 27, 1992. This recording shows two different versions of the video. Each version shows a different montage of scenes and uses different music. In the first version, the music is predominantly a piano track.
